Scholarship Letter – Sample Scholarship Letter

A scholar is a hardworking, brainy and intelligent student or adult. A scholarship is an honor given to her/him. A scholarship is usually in the form of financial support either only towards education fee or towards education fee cum travel or a 100% scholarship. A 100% scholarship is where the entire program is free for the person who is getting the scholarship.

A Scholarship Letter is the medium of informing a student that s/he has been found eligible for the scholarship based on certain criteria. But this letter is given only to a chosen few. The criteria of selecting someone or finding someone eligible for a scholarship could be:

Excellent marks in the school board or university

Performance at the entrance exams for the school or college giving out the scholarship

DOS AND DON’T’S OF SCHOLARSHIP LETTER

A Scholarship Letter should be handed over to the deserving candidate after a careful evaluation or scrutiny of the applications received – the lives of one or only a few is at stake

It should be short and precise

A Scholarship Letter should give details of the criteria for selection to keep the channel of communication absolutely transparent

It should be typed and not hand written

The tone of the letter should be encouraging and inspirational

It should only talk about the scholarship and the reasons for giving it to the reader

If the letter talks about the results of the concerned individual it is good because it really is a feather in the cap

A copy of the letter should always be posted on the school or college student notice board so that other students also derive inspiration from it

Always check for any grammatical or punctuation errors

A Scholarship Letter should be given well in time so that the student who is receiving it can plan her/his future course of action

The program for which the scholarship can be used should also form an integral part of the letter
